After a lengthy pause in expansion, I Just put a sister on the throne of Bohemia and did a little holy warring in Persia. Georgia is expanding in to Eastern Ukraine.


It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

God they had better roll back the update that lists all titles in an alphabetical order when you go to give them to another character. There was no reason to get rid of them sorted by title and recency. <_<

Yeah, it's a pain in the ass.

In a bid to avoid the Mongols, I'll be spinning off Persia and Tartaria in a bit.



I like how the Shia Caliphate (not pictured with four provinces in Ethiopia) has just declared a Jihad on me. That's going to work out well for them...:lol:

What are those green spots in Anatolia and the Levant?

Remnants of the Abbasid => Abdulid Caliphate. Without being able to usurp titles of other religion monarchs who have territory in the title, it is really tedious to get rid of them. I guess a good thing as it slows AI down from lightning fast conquests.

Kind of lame. When you do finally usurp their tile, you get stuck with the existing laws. So Byzantine Empire was autonomous vassals (now low) and gavelkind. <_<

my current county-in-BYZ-game took a unexpected turn a few sessions ago:

The BYZ and the Abbassids were playing pingpong in upper-Meopotamia. Nothing special there.
things changed though when the Shia had their event-driven revolt and managed to take all of Syria.
A few years later the Shia-caliphate invaded BYZ for Anatalia (ambitious as that's entire 'kingdom' rather than a duchy)
At the same time some Sunni adventurer decided he wanted the crown of the BYZ emperor.
And for once BYZ didn't manage to win those wars. So in the space of a few years they lost anatolia and were then conquered by a Sunnite.
Needless to say that the Orthodox Dukes were swiftly replaced with Sunni versions.
When my turn game I gave him the finger, hired a horde of mercs and called in every Alliance I had: luckily those included a large Aquitaine, a good France and a strong Burgundy. Buying me time to reach a 100% score and sue for peace before the BYZ mega stack arrived.
Interesting game to say the least

How is my son both trusting and cynical?  :hmm:

Also, I wish there was confirm/cancel buttons for the decisions. My son borrowed money from Jewish money lenders before I died, and when I became him I meant to pay them back but expelled them from the Empire instead. Whoops.  :Embarrass:

I have fulfilled the dream of Julius Caesar and conquered Persia. The Roman Empire now rules from Ireland to Iran!

Trusting opposes Paranoid and Cynical opposes Zealous, is how.

Yeah cynical is about religious skepticism in CK2.

Which I think it a bit anachronistic, not unheard of but rare enough it seems weird to have it being a trait.  I tend to think of it more like anti-Clericalism which was actually a thing.

Well they also have homosexual as a trait which everyone knows about. That and lesbian lovers who enter a suicide pact.

On a different note, has anyone seen that reincarnation trait yet? I wonder how common it is.
